What Steve said!
Also, the cooler could be leaking and causing the oil in water. If not that, it won't be a crack anywhere, but more likely just a blown head gasket. The blocks are pretty tough, I haven't heard of one with a crack in it. As for compression, the engine I'm building right now was as Steve described, good bores but rings that were worn the hell out. Suprising really that it started at all. Most were broken or paper thin, with huge gaps. If thats the case, it makes for a fairly cheap rebuild. Rings, some bearings, and freshen up the head and it will last a long time if you run good oil and let it warm up before running it hard!
